Appealing to hatred is a highly motivating tactic.

I'm sorry I meant hate talk of the war. I truly appologize felt I had implied it and said it and when i looked over the post I didn't.
I don't believe you can talk hate of a war we are in and win an election fr President.... and perhaps even Senator (depending on the state). Not right now at least, and as much as people talk about the 60's I don't think then. So this picture alienates more people from the Dems. Because the Dems. have aligned themselves willfully to MM. So in some people's minds when he does something like this picture, those moderates figure the Dem party no longer relates it is too far left and vote GOP.
What is sad is we have no Dems that came out against MM this election season and told him to "f-off and leave the party alone". Instead a couple ELECTED Dems that said .... "this is no longer my party, they no longer speak for me. The rest of the Dem party bent over backwards pleasing MM and making up excuses for the exodus of longtime elected Dems. And never sat dowbn and thought, "we just maybe pushing people too far left and they are leaving us. Perhaps we need to get our priorities straight and decide whether we try our best to serve ALL THE PEOPLE or just do whackjobs for special interest groups and Hollywood.
So yeah art is art and always has a statement and sometimes it is distasteful, and sometimes it serves a purpose and sometimes the purpose it is trying to get across is so inspired by negativity the message comes out too negative and the reaction is not what the intention was wanting to bring about.
